Ok first of all,

I think i speak for everyone when i say the lag in TC is getting worse and worse as the shard grows.

Personally i think that we should move to another location instead of making new vendor area again. Maybe move to the hall in Skara Brea.

SECOND

Maybe to get people to vote we should do a thing like a voting deed or something you get when you vote? idk cause the reason i liked WoW servers was because when you voted you got a item or something worth little value. Maybe that would be a little easier.

THIRD

We should have a better guild system. Hear me out on this. Im in OTK. Wonderful guild. But when i have real friend that i want in i have to wait for Kougi to get on. Granite he is always availible which is a nice thing. But maybe make emmisaries avalible on the stone.

FOURTH

We need some runic saws for carpentry :D I think we could make some good money with that. Maybe make them drop 50/50 like the Plat hammers and tinkering kits make it fletching and carp.

FIFTH

This is a very big idea. But VERY VERY Helpful.

Ok when i played on OSI there was a website i went to called Searchuo.com i dont know if it is still up but it is VERY nice.

It allows you to type in something that you are looking for, what shard and a price range. It then puts up a list of all the vendors in the shard that have that item.

This would cut down on the chat for people looking for stuff. I know i spent all last night asking every 10mins if anyone was selling a bio tool.
This would make things alot nicer. And you could put it in with our little portal thing. right by Exex. And We could have a trade channel in there :)

Gimmie some feedback. :D

I do love Skara I agree with this.

I have seen this on another shard there was a voting stone but people exploited it not sure how but I do remember it being removed due to abuse. But if there was a good way to do it I like the idea.

I dont have an opinion on this topic.

This i have seen also on other shards but it was more of a vending system people put stuff up for sale through a gump and buyers woudl be able to search sales and buy them etc. Kind of liek the WOW auction house just not as advanced.

So, you mean... instead of having polls on the forums, you would like to have polls on the shard itself? Like a MOTD type of thing?

We are currently working on Town Center and we will make any necessary changes in the near future. We are aware of the slight lag in the area (others tend to have higher lag due to their computer functionality) and have been and will be addressing the situation.

It is actually illegal to offer "goodies" to players when voting for their Ultima Online shard. That being said, we will not be doing that here.

We have the option available on the guild stones to allow members of the guild to recruit other players. The guild master can then decide if he or she is interested in accepting anyone listed there.

You can receive runic saws for completing Carpentry BOD's. Like certain types of runic kits, these are just not as 'common'.

We have ExEx where players may auction off or sell stackable items through through their internet browser *edit* I know that you know about this option, but for players who do not, this is the explanation. Please visit the Portal to access ExEx. We also have the Market forum, where players can list what they are selling and/or buying. I take it that you like the 'instant' transaction, which is very appealing and also why +Colibri created ExEx. For items that are non stackable, however, I would suggest the forums. There may come a time when ExEx will allow for non stackable items, however that is not at the forefront at this time.

Side note: Remember that repeated frequent global communications from buyers/sellers is frowned upon. It is never a good idea to send a message over global chat constantly every 10 minutes. The solution would be to post your need on the forums, and simply send a global message 1 time per hour, mentioning that you have a market interest on the forums.
Another idea is to 'name a rune' on your vendor with any items you are interested in, or secure a book with the list of items you are looking for in front of your vendor. You may also PM people privately to ask if they have such item for sale or can suggest who might have it.

I know about that stuff :)

Just instead of having to search through vendors. I can come to the website look and see if anyone has the item and then run and find the vendor in game. You dont buy the item off the website.
